Quick can be a good reminder.

     Something I have found that keeps me on track is anything that is quick to eat. Lately I have been neglecting myself, especially in the mornings. I've always had a problem remembering to eat something in the morning. I'm not a big morning eater and normal breakfast is just way too much for me.

     Recently, I have found a bit of magic that is getting me to eat more often in the morning. Something that is quick. If I have to cook, it won't happen. So I'm starting the habit with things like toaster strudels, frozen waffles, and bagels. I would add cereal, but I'm not a huge fan of the stuff, even as a kid I could never finish a box.

     Is it healthy for me? Probably not. Is it at least getting me into the habit? Yes. Over the past few weeks I have found myself waking up and feeling hungry. That didn't even happen in high school.

     What are some of your favorite quick meals in the morning?

Self control

Sometimes it's all about putting cheese puffs in bags because you know that you will always finish the bag. No matter what size.

I know myself well enough to know that this is the part of food prep that I can't skip. I must always portion out my food. Especially my snacks.

I don't fight the cravings, no matter how healthy I want to be, I just make sure to limit myself. And pre-portioning is what I find works best for me.

It doesn't take much, just some small resealable baggies. Toss a serving in and move on. When craving hits, not only areason they fresh, but in limited portions.
